Stucco Centerpiece

This kitchen was designed around the requirement that the hood be above the island. The use of a stucco texture over the sage green trim helped the hood to visually blend into the space. Design by Gail Drury of Drury Design

Transitional Contrast

The industrial stainless steel hood and appliances contrast with the three-inch thick Calacatta marble countertops, adding a modern touch to this traditional kitchen. Design by Rebekah Zaveloff of KitchenLab
